Now a fish kinda likes the waterAnd that's just where he wants to beAnd a monkey kinda digs bananasSo he lives in the top of a treeBut my eyes are made for darknessSo the nighttime is right for me'Cause I'm a night owl honey, sleep all day longI'm a night owl honey, sleep all day long

Most folks they like the daytime'Cause they like to see the shining sunThey're up in the mornin'Off and a runnin' till they're too tired for havin' funBut when the sun goes downAnd the bright lights shineMy daytime has just begun'Cause I'm a night owl honey, sleep all day longI'm a night owl honey, sleep all day long

Won't you turn out them bright lights babyI said they're just about to drive me blindOh won't you draw then curtains for me papaWatch and you'll see my love light shine

Now there are two sides to this great big worldAnd one of them is always nightIf you can take care of business in the sunshine babyI guess you're gonna be alrightBut don't come looking for me to lend you a handMy eyes just can't stand the light'Cause I'm a night owl honey, sleep all day long'Cause I'm a night owl honey, sleep all day long
